This morning I found the following email in my box, I have not ordered any thing of this nature and certainly not at almost £80 per 3 MONTHS!!!!!:eek: :eek:

I suspect it may be a scam, I have phoned the bank and they have told me to wait and see if it hits my account....... there was an attachement with it supposed to be an invoice but my virus protection would not let me open it... it could be that it contains a virus...... just a warning incase anyone else gets a similar e mail.

    Spam, I constantly get bombared with fake ebay emails asking me when I'm going to send the goods now I've been credited with £x pounds....

    Don't whatever you do reply to the email as this just verifies the email account IS in use. Then you will go on a 'fixed' spam list as the spammers know you are reading them.

    Common sense is all what is needed, if you know you didnt buy something and you get a email saying you have then ignore it but do keep an eye on your bank statements.
